FINAL MASQUERADE by Cindy Davis is a suspenseful novel based
around a person's desire to flee from certain death.
Paige Carmichael is a self assured, resourceful woman who is
witness to a murder. Aware that her fiancé is entrenched in the mob,
she overlooks it until she accidentally sees him kill his best friend.
Forced to flee, Paige must leave behind a luxurious existence and begin
a life on the run.
Paige finds comfort in each city on her path and is able to set up
a new identity and make friends in each city. Her name, accent, and
history changes in each city that she visits, but, unfortunately, her
fiancé
is always able to find her as soon as she's settled.
Paige meets an unlikely accomplice at the beginning of her travels
but is unsure of whom she can trust. She not only runs from this man
who seems to have saved her, but runs from her fiancé
as well.
Cindy Davis creates a fantastic story of betrayal, suspense and
intrigue in FINAL MASQUERADE. The tension in this novel makes this book
hard to put down. The reader suffers along with Paige as she tries to
make a new life for herself and feels her pain when she leaves friends
behind each time she is found again. This reader would like more detail
at the end of the novel but it was well worth the time it took to turn
the pages. Cindy Davis has certainly created a winner with this novel.
